I started this thread for new NFC news, ideas and help.

For starters, I really like the NFC feature and look forward to new and easier ways to use my Blackberry so I can leave the house with less stuff on me. At the moment I have three NFC tags setup, more soon.

I've opened a bank account which uses the sticky pay tags for non NFC phones, I ask them how do I set my NFC phone up without the tags & just get a puzzled look. Has anyone had a better answer or know if / when we are able to do this ?

Also public transport, our buses have NFC for the old folks bus passes...call the bus station & say "NFC" and get a puzzled verbal "errghhh ???"

And lastly, O2 wallet. I read, watched videos and read more. They hint that it will be able to make small payments via NFC but the app in app world doesn't confirm it ??? Now im puzzled.

Oh lastlly, lastly, Starbucks have NFC payments but have taken their app from app world

So if anyone can add or has experienced NFC use (not just payments) hopefully we can get this new nfc thread going.

I have those two apps, they're pretty cool.

Three tags set up & three spares. I'm unsure and lately, haven't thought of what I'd like the other three to do.

Have you also set some tags up, if so, what do yours launch etc ?

The Car - When get to work it sets the phone to stand-by, not allowed phone in work. When i get back into the car heading home, phone switches on and sends a txt to wife saying Im on my way home. On arriving at home tag at front door switches wifi on.
I would like to set Foursquare check in for work and home?

Nice I have one for Wifi on - Bluetooth on & Bridge on. The second for those off as well as one than launches Crackberry.

Why not just have one which switches BT, WiFi and Bridge on and off?

I wanted just the one tag to do that. I'm clueless about setting up tags.

Vijik kindly posted the links & I just followed his instructions.
